I'm pumped. I'm a sucker for arena shooters and am a bit tired of over-complicated class based team shooters that seem to be particularly prominent at the moment. Really nice to see the positive reception it's getting, too.

This game looks great. I look forward to future gameplay footage as the game nears release, if not simply to win over people who can't get past the game's present low-budget feel (at least in terms of the levels).

I know at least two friends who say this game looks suspiciously similar to a mini-game in Portal or Portal 2. Honestly, though, I think the game looks creative enough on it's own merits, particular when it comes to the squids! I have to admit, though, I was a little confused about it when it was announced during the Digital Event last Tuesday, but it's really grown on me since!

Also, new IP is always good!

I like the look of this one too. Might be the one that makes me buy a Wii U.

The name is creative and quite fitting for the game itself; I'll consider this title once it's been released as well.

BTW, for those of you that are wondering, this game will, indeed, have a single-player campaign... or at the very least, Reggie Fils-Amie feels that not including a single-player mode would "be a mistake".

http://mynintendonews.com/2014/06/19...-be-a-mistake/

This is why Reggie's the man!

Some direct-feed audio gameplay

Really digging the music, from what I'm hearing. I recall that in one of the Treehouse demos they said that the direction of the music is meant to be like what the Inklings would hypothetically listen to in their world, and it's super different, which I really like. I'm a sucker for sample-heavy tunes going along with colorful games in which rebellious youths vandalize urban environments. I wonder why that is~

edit: Local multiplayer, at least 1v1, is confirmed, too. Seems like it won't just be standard Turf War.

Apparently Miis were considered to be the key playable characters. Here's why they went with squids over them:

I recall them stating that Mii's were supposed to appear in Smash Bros Brawl but at the time it didn't feel right to have a Mii, these new "cute lovable" avatars, trying to kill each other. I would guess it applies a bit here as well, Nintendo doesn't like the idea of grandma shooting your baby sister in the face when they're duking it out on this "shooter" game while they enjoy their afternoon.

I really like this game. It's so Nintendo-ish while being an online multiplayer game. This is great, we need more of these titles please.

The game looks great in terms of graphics as well. All this paint being fired around and coloring the encironments, it looks so nice!

I'd love if there were a way to mimic various other real life squids.
Either way, this game looks great! I hope it's successful.

What were they smoking when they made this trailer o.o And where can I get some? I love it.

Really glad there's a single-player mode. Not that I was doubting it after Reggie's comments @ E3.

I can't believe it's coming out in May.

The character customization options look super cute.

Soon we'll have Splatoon.

I wonder if there will be different multiplayer modes other than the turf wars. If they do have different modes, they'll probably be twists on the turf theme, as not to distract from the game's emphasis on covering ground over racking up kills. Is there any other noteworthy kid-friendly shooter out there right now?

It looks surprisingly good.
It's currently my 2nd most anticipated WiiU game after Zelda.
It just seems so polished for a brand new IP, Nintendo is really trying to make it successful and I hope it gets the attention it deserves.

This Amiibo thing is going to far. I don't want to have to buy a plastic toy that I don't like the look of to unlock content they've made anyway.

So I guess I won't.

The Splatoon Amiibos actually look pretty good. I hope these are final and not just prototypes they'll end up changing to look worse.

The amiibo content is just rehashed versions of the same levels from the game except with different weapons. I could care less about it. I just want the figures and would buy them even if they didn't have any in-game effects.

I am totally hyped for this game. More so than Arkham Knight, AND Battlefront. I love the two modes, and I really hope they add TDM, and perhaps another mode. The ability to customize your character completely is also fantastic, along with the amiibo integration.

BTW, did everyone hear that normal amiibo will be having a possibility to add effects to Splatoon in game? For example, scanning a Mario amiibo will give you a Mario hat for your Splatoon character. At least, this is what I have heard.

Guys is this definitely worth getting? I didn't get a chance to try it. I kept getting errors for first and second sessions and I was asleep for the third.

I found the game surprisingly fun too, especially since I normally dislike playing console FPS games. i think the game successfully manages to cater to both FPS fans as well as those (like me) who are not that into the genre.

In case someone here didn't notice, there's going to be another shot at the demo on the 23rd, 3-4 PT 7-8 EST. I don't know about you, but I'm definitely doing to be there.

The most interesting thing about the whole interview was that the game was only 10% done when they first unveiled it. They had a lot of the concepts and designs down, but they still had 90% to make. It's pretty easy to see why they're adding all these modes and stages through after-launch updates now.

If that's the case, would you think it'd be better for Nintendo to just delay the release so that everything can be released in a whole package?

no

I think the game will keep people's attention if new updates are being made.

Zuper is saying the future updates will attract people's attention. Which, is totally correct. All future updates will be "new," and are already under-way, and most likely a few are already done.

They're still developing the stuff that will be in the updates, right? I guess I might prefer everything to be in one package in some ways, feels less 'tacky' I guess? But then again having to wait for certain modes/stages will keep the focus on what's currently available so people will get the most out of it then, and when new stuff comes along it'll keep people from being bored and rejuvenate the interest people have in the game. An enthusiastic community is pretty important for a game with such strong focus on online multiplayer.

I'm with Zuper on this. The updates help keep interest in the game going long after release which is essential in a game where online is a huge part.

(Iwata looks so gaunt in those pics in that Asks article.

Someone feed him.)

Why would you want bots? I mean, I suppose they'd be OK for playing with yourself or a friend, but online they'd just be terrible.

uh... why would it be terrible?

i want to be able to play and practice without going online. i want to be able to have games with only friends without needing 8 people. i want to be able to choose the difficulty, strategies, and weapons of the people i'm teammates with or playing against. i want to be able to play the main modes of the game years later when the servers are dead.

the octolings have the same skillset as the players and obviously must have some sort of AI, even if it's more focused on combat than covering surfaces. they're pretty much halfway there already.

Well I finally got to play this after being unable to connect during the other testfires a couple of weeks ago. It was a lot of fun, but I kinda wish we could also play just a regular offline demo against bots to mess around with. I guess it doesn't matter now, the game is releasing in less than a week.

I missed the testfire the first few days. And I was out during the time it was supposed to be up on the last day. But I was home right after it was supposed to end and I found out that they had extended the time.

ive tweeted my local game store asking and im still waiting for a reply
*sigh* ._.
apparently all those affected have been emailed regarding this, and i have no emails like the one posted on that site so im still hoping i can get the LE and not downgraded to the regular version

I got that email D: (Well, Tekka did who was going to buy the game for me). Some people just want to watch the world burn! How weird that something like that would happen though.

Luckily I managed to buy the special edition from another retailer.

I can't believe they were stolen. This amiibo craze has gone too far now.

I almost peordered the special edition squid amiibo bundle from GAME because Australia wasn't getting it. I'm glad I decided to get the amiibo 3-pack with the Inkling girl, boy and squid from EB Games instead.

so game called and basically told me everything i read on that site last night, no limited editions but i can still get the girl amiibo i have on preorder bc those butts didnt steal those *phew*, and ill get ?10 off the regular version as an apology, i might use that ?10 to get the boy squid if i can

i freaking hate scalpers, i bet scalpers stole the truck and are gonna sell each one on ebay for double the price because it has a “rare squid amiibo” with it >.>

I love how the 3DS Forums has this game on its banner, despite the 3DS not getting it. In all fairness, however, the 3DS will likely get a Splatoon menu theme ^^.

Only just got it yesterday. When do the clothes/accessories change in the shops? I think it's just been the same stuff for almost 24 hours, so I haven't found much gear I like.

The clothing stores refresh every 24 hours. Not sure what time the rollover is in Australia tho.

The splatoon miiverse posts are amazing:

miiverse posts are the bread of this game. I'll also post my dude when i get some choice clothing. rollers were OP in the demo, but i guess things are different now. i may be mistaken, but the running speed of rollers seem slower than in the demo?

my favorite weapon is the sniper so far (even tho i can't land a shot to save me life)

Type of weapon, or weapon? I suppose my favorite weapon, currently, would be the Krak-on Splat Roller. I really don't know what my favorite weapon type is. I do know, however, that Chargers are stupid. IMO

I use the roller because I'm terrible at shooting (I need to get better). I really wanna try out that paint brush. I was under the impression it was gonna be available to unlock, so they better release that one next/soon.

So do we love or hate the Port Mackerel stage? I think it's alright. I like all the stages except for the Warehouse and the Mall.

I tried it and I'm not sure if I like the ranked battles.

Is there red ink in the game? I thought there wasn't (I assume because it would resemble blood), but I watched a ranked battle vid to get a better understanding on how it works and it looked like the ink was red.

Man. I really like the Inkbrush and I don't use rollers at all. The Inkbrush is perfect for ranked battles if you ****ing know what you're doing.

Before I had played Splatoon, I always thought the Inkbrush would be my favorite weapon, but after trying it out, I didn't end up liking how it works much. I'm not gonna say it's bad, but maybe it's only good if you know how to use it well.

I think I'll stick with using the Krak-On Splat Roller and Splattershot Jr.

great protip: play ranked immediately after a new weapon comes out to take advantage of people who have no idea what to do with it and get easy victories

inkbrush players were easy picking, lol. don't think one splatted me once

I'm curious about something.

Can someone confirm if you can order the amiibo costumes through Spyke the sea urchin?

Haven't had anyone with one of the amiibo costumes in my plaza recently.

And you can't get the Splatfest gear unless you participate and are on the winning team.

Should get to lvl20 tomorrow so I can finish my set :3

Why do I always get stuck on the ******ed team? Most of the time I finish in 1st place on my team with around 800-1k+ points and my team mates have around 300-500 points. We just get completely destroyed and I never have any idea what they're doing in the matches.

I wish we could view playtime statistics, I'm sure I've lost more matches than won because of awful team mates. xD

Added after 6 Hours 5 minutes:



The hell is up with all these SRTs?

Splatoon still sold out in Japan, outselling Super Smash Bros Wii U's second week sales, so it's the second fastest selling Wii U game after MK8.

01./01. [WIU] Splatoon <ACT> (Nintendo) {2015.05.28} (?6.156) - 68.913 / 213.731

I think it's the other way around. The story mode stages was taken from the competitive stages.

I keep changing my squid kid, I can't seem to stick with one look. Not sure if these stats are the best, but they will do for now. I want more clothing and accessories added.

I see so many people with the White Anchor Tee and Crazy Arrows shoes. Is that the best/most popular gear setup thing or something?

I don't know about those shoes but I know the anchor t-shirt has 4 power-up slots so people probably use it for that (I sure do!).


Oh and everyone feeling this splash-o-matic weapon set? My scores never drop below 1k now it's awesome.

Damnit Kinvara, get a decent internet connection. You're impossible to kill because you splat everyone from 5 feet back -_-

Sorry!

I'm tired of disconnecting all the time. It's not like I enjoy it either. I literally just ordered an ethernet cable so I hope that fixes the problem.

So team eating won Splatfest, but team sleeping won more matches and that's what should count more, not popularity.

But the % of matches won does count more, though. It counts twice as much as popularity does. Did you not notice the "x2" next to the win percentage on the results screen?

I'm wondering if once a month is the best for Splatfest or if every two weeks will continue to hold interest.

Does anyone use the Inkbrush/Octobrush? I underrated it when it first released, I thought it was a bad weapon, but I tried using it again recently and it's actually really good if you learn to use it properly. I got over 1000pts and 14 kills with it on Urchin Underpass when I was playing a few hours ago. I seem to do better with the brushes than the rollers now.

Speaking of rollers, does anyone use the Dynamo Roller? I once faced someone who completely destroyed my whole team with it on Walleye Warehouse. I tried using it myself, but it's just so damn slow and everyone kills me easily.

Haven't tried it here recently but I like the Octobrush better than the inkbrush at least.

I tried using some of the other rollers but they're too slow for my taste. Kracken roller is still one of my favorites.

I've grown to like the sploosh-o-matics and jet squelchers too.

I keep getting the "Unstable Connection" error ever since the update. ;_; ;_; ;_;

My Wii U has a wired connection too.

I think it's my internet is part of the problem- it has always been terrible even after I got my wii u hooked up with a wired internet connection. I had a lot of issues with it last week. They supposedly fixed it but it's still pretty bad.

What new gear are you guys wearing?
Really enjoying using the bucket. The Slosher might just be my new favorite weapon.

Tower Control gets really so intense a lot of the time. Yuoke and I have been playing Twin Squad (mostly on Tower Control) since the update and a lot of the time we unluckily keep getting paired with two people who don't seem to know what they're doing. I forget their names, but we got paired with these two idiots earlier. One of them kept blindly running into the firefight dying all the time and the other one did nothing except ink all the ground like it was Turf War. I guess Quad Squad is the best way to play Ranked to avoid situations like this.

I just recently started playing splatoon again, and I really like tower control gamemode. It feels a lot more balanced than zone control and it actually makes the charger viable, which is awesome. Ill never play this game as much as smash, but I think its really fun and easy to pick up and play, so ill be trying to play it more regularly.

Looks like the update changed our titles to the same ones as America. I wonder why they did that...

Really enjoyed the Splatfest this time around. Mostly because I could actually compete with the other players. Sucks that we didn't outright destroy Team Hotdog. Oh well. Bring on the next one!

My internet is .1mpbs turtle speed when im in my room but as soon as i bring my laptop out of my room it hits 50mbps.

There must be some kind of forcefield around my room.

I wonder how long it'll take for the average person to reach 50. cuz it's still taking me forever to get to 20.

Why must Ranked be so hard? I lost 10 matches in a row and went from a B- to a C, so I guess I just seem to suck at Splat Zones because I can win at Tower Control.

Just reached level 30 and received another rare clothing item from Judd. Looks like you get something rare for every 5 levels you go up.

Also...

When do you guys squad or private battle? I almost never see anyone playing when I get on Splatoon.

I think a lot of it for me is due to bad teammates letting me down. I keep thinking I must suck at Splat Zones, but I usually do better than most of them when the results are displayed. Might just stick to Tower Control.

We usually play whenever after 7 PM central time in the US. That's when I kick these guy's lazy butts into gear. Btw, what's a good build for the bucket, peanut? You seem to use it a lot and I want to try it out.

A good build? Do you mean the clothing stats? I find I run out of ink fast when using the bucket, so main weapon ink savers would be ideal.

Yeah that's what I meant. Any other ideas? I can get a triple ink saver no problem. What else should I concentrate on?

I dunno, I'm never lucky enough to get what I want when I reroll my stats. Maybe ink sub savers as well since the burst bombs travel further than the bucket. Could be useful for hitting people who use long range shooters.

I see. Thanks, Peanut. I'm gonna work on the bucket build tomorrow and hopefully it'll be ready for Squadding soon.

Has anyone seen/or have the orange vest with the checkered shirt underneath? The update has been up for a week now and it's the only piece of new clothing I haven't seen yet.



Oh, and I also haven't seen most of these shirts either...

I don't know about anyone else, but I don't really make a big deal over the clothing skills. I just wear stuff I like the look of, so it doesn't bother me if something I like has a bad main skill.

I don't even know how much of a difference some of them make. I once had 4 defense up skills and I still seemed to be just as easily killed as I did without any.

Finally Rainmaker will be here. I was under the impression it was included with the August update. Also, why can't Ranked have a Turf War mode? Or at least let us have the option to be on friend's teams for it.

I would have played, Bar, but I didn't see anyone with a Squad open to join (I assume that's because the Squad rooms were full). I guess someone will have to make a private room so all of us can play together sometime. Only downside is we wont gain leveling up experience.

Had a lot of fun with Rainmaker, but unlike Tower Control, Rainmaker seems pretty one-sided a lot of the time since it doesn't automatically go back to the middle. I dunno about anyone else, but I really don't like carrying the Rainmaker.

Does anyone use the Splash Walls? I think they're probably the most underrated sub weapon, I rarely see people using them. They're so useful in Ranked games, I wish more main weapons had them. Actually, what would be really good is if you could build your own set up, like pick which sub and special you want. I dunno if that would unbalance the game or not...

I use splash walls a lot. They're pretty useful but I wish a splattershot had them.

I also hate how you can't just place them right in front of you. Instead they bounce off and set up like five feet away. Would make them really good for tower control.

I don't like ranked battles with randoms very much. There's no opportunity to coordinate any kind of strategy.

I lose a lot at ranked thanks to the random people on the team. Most of them are just unhelpful and aimless all over the place. Even when I spam the "To Me!" (it's C'mon! in the NA game) thing they will rarely super jump to me.

I was playing squad with Yuoke, he was using the Inkbrush and would make a fast trail of ink right to the goal for the Rainmaker carrier to swim through and a lot of the time they just didn't understand to follow that strategy and would go in the opposite direction getting themselves killed instead.

You guys just need to find a good team. That's what I did and I went up 2 ranks.

A little earlier we had the most ******ed match ever on Rainmaker. This random guy called Travis had the Rainmaker and I killed all four members of the other team, Yuoke cleared a path to the podium thing and Travis ran right past it and was trying to take the Rainmaker to the other team's spawn point... At least I think that's what he thought he had to do with it, lol.

We won, but still, I can't believe how bad that was and I'm sure the other team must have been laughing at us.

on the 1st match i had no idea what to do with rainmaker, like i thought we had to take it to the podium that matched our ink and i was like, ok? so i helped the opposite team get halfway there >.>

but then a few matches later i think i singlehandedly got the rainmaker up to 12 and then i was splatted, someone behind me picked it up and then we won

Nice one. XD

It's so annoying when people just don't understand a strategy you have. On Moray Towers, I made a path up the wall were those metal step things are and spammed the C'mon!/To Me! thing, but the idiot with the Rainamker decided to go around the long way instead and instantly died. I wish there was a better way to make teammates understand.

Turtles, I'm now stuck there. I got to around B+ 80pts, but then I went from the B+ to B, then back to B+ and now B again.

EDIT: Now I'm B- 2pts. I just can't seem to get on teams that are capable of winning now.

Also yeah, the point system makes no sense to me. I once lost 4pts, gained 12pts, then lost 14pts, then gained 8pts. Something like that. I dunno if it depends on how good/how much you do in a match or how quick you win or lose.

THIS POST! I've been stuck in B+ myself for a lot longer than expected. It's so competitive & the inconsistency of the points system is odd.


This is to anyone and everyone; my NNID is: MrBlee

Add me because I need saving from this B+ rank! I'm sure you're all strong players who can drag me up :P I score pretty well most of the time so would like to think I can be of help too.

Yeah...


I had someone specifically target me in Splat Zones on Arowana Mall once. This girl Inkling (it was probably a guy because everyone plays as girls) with a kraken roller wouldn't leave me alone. I went to the right side and she was there waiting to splat me 3 times in a row, so I went to the middle thinking she just wanted the right side to herself, but she was there also waiting to splat me again. Then I went to the left side by Yuoke and she went nuts and chased me with a kraken, but she fell through grate flooring and died. I got splatted again and when I respawned she was by the spawn point hiding in the ink waiting. It looked like she didn't care about trying to win the match, she was just too determined to keep splatting me for some reason. I have no idea what I did to annoy her so much lol.

It looked like she didn't care about trying to win the match, she was just too determined to keep splatting me for some reason. I have no idea what I did to annoy her so much lol.
I never had that happen not sure how it could happen. I never pay attention to names.

Can someone tell me which gear slot abilities are the most useful ones to have? I'm not really sure how beneficial some of them are.

I'm more inclined to wear whatever looks best haha.

But the usefulness of gear slot abilities depends on your play style and/or what weapons you use.

For example, I love the Kracken Roller so I like to wear clothes that have the "Ink Saver (Main)", "Special Charge Up", "Special Duration Up", and/or "Ink Recovery Up".

In Turf War, this allows me to roll continuously until my special gauge is full, activate the kracken ability, splat an enemy or two, and then go right back to rolling.

Yeah, I always wear what I think looks good, even if it's main ability isn't a good one.

Ink Saver (Main) does seem like the best one, but there are others I'm not so sure about, like defense up. I once had gear with 4 defense up slots, but it felt like I was getting splatted just as quickly as I do without any. It doesn't seem very beneficial since bombs/mines, Rollers, Chargers and Blasters can probably still splat you in one hit.

I'll keep testing out abilities to see how much of a difference they make and if it seems worth using or not.

If only I could trade Inkling speed for Swim speed, then it would be perfection.

Today is a day of legend. The day we got Soap to S rank and kicked a bunch of S rank tail. Gods be praised.

I'm only a measly B+ rank. Is it just me or is it once you get past C+, it starts getting difficult to keep up a winning streak? You guys seem to know what you're doing. I need to squad with people who are actually coordinated and capable of winning because the randoms are always letting me down.

I haven't put a lot of time into ranked. I'm still only B-. I haven't played with a squad at all. I usually get some **** teams. But I'm going to have no internet for the next week.

Once you get internet, you should squad up with us.

It's the only reliable way to raise your rank.

These abilities seem pretty good so far. Just wish I could trade a quick super jump and one of the run speeds for two ink saver (subs)

Yuoke: Those look good to me.

I wonder how many maps we will be getting? I hope the updates stay consistent but I don't know.

As far as I know, this is the only unreleased map left... but there could easily be a few more announced later on.


There's also this, but since it resembles Saltspray Rig a lot, I think it's actually an early version of it.

The bridge is the one that hasn't been released yet.

Judging by one of the single player levels, we might get an amusement park themed one.

I love the look of the Octo Tee and the haunt ability. I don't see myself ever changing it.

I once did one of those jumping things with another player online. Forna second there was no turf or good guys and bad guys. It was just two fellow squid kids enjoying a jump. Then a sniper on my team took them out.

I was playing this morning and there were so few Decepticons that Autobots ended up playing against each other.

Stuff like this is why I need a car, my Deception brothers need me and I'm powerless to help them!
